Hi guys, so I'm in a little bit of a pickle. I just scooped up a pair of WK 20" srt oem wheels, I have a guy trying to sell me a set of 4 toyo proxes ST II for a good price. The problem is the tires size. The tire size is 275/40/20 and 315/35/20. Will these fit a WK2 Laredo? Also, what will be the advantage/ disadvantages be of a tire this wide? I live in the hills of CT where there are lots of winding roads. Please help me in my decision.


Thanks
Mark

first off, don't mix and match tire sizes.. second, are they the stock 20x10's? and do you want an all season tire or just a summer tire.

20x9 and 20x10. Same tire all around which would be a summer time. I have winter wheels in my shed for the snow. I'm worried that the width and even side wall height may be an issue. I plan to lower the jeep before putting the wheels and tires on. don't want any complications such as rubbing or anything.

The 315/35 is almost 2 inches lower in height than the 295/45. So you will be lowering an additional inch. That is a very short sidewall. Your speedometer will be about 6% off also. 60mph will be 56mph actual or something close.

the 275's will be fine, provided you have 4 of them! If you put 2 different size tyres on you will destroy your transmission if you drive a 4WD. It should be ok if you have a 2WD but still not advisable. As stated above, recheck your speedometer with a GPS to confirm any inaccuracy resultant from using non stock tyres .
